Excellent content for elementary level science teaching

This book has been around quite a few years, but the authors have updated each edition for new trends, especially in space exploration, technology, and the constructivist orientation to science teaching. I am using it for an Integrated Physical and Biological science content class for elementary teachers. I can supplement with web searches for jazzy pictures, or low information density lessons, but for a good all round knowledge reference, with the extra of alternating chapters to emphasize methods of teaching elementary science, I haven't found a better physical/biological science text.
